SAILING Mast Refit Mistakes You Won't Believe! SwT 82
Don't Refit Your Mast Without Watching THIS FIRST! 6 hints to avoid a disaster is something you should watch BEFORE you start on a full refit job on your mast and standing rigging. Not all rigging companies know what they are doing, and not everyone cares about your safety. Not everyone understands what a full refit of the mast and running rigging should be. Rigging experts show us how and why the only way to do professional rigging refitting is pin-to-pin. My dear sailing friend Kylie is lucky she made it to Martinique. Watch this video to find out why!
I hope this will give some insights in what can go wrong by sharing experience and some extreme examples of ignorance. This is not a revenge video, but a true story focusing only on facts.
I really hope you find this helpful and educational.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I`m sailing around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. Most of the time I sail singlehanded but occasionally I do have sailing friends onboard.
Even though this is season 3 on YouTube I have already sailed 4 seasons full time but did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I have sailed several seasons in the Med before this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and am an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing ever since. Also more than 10 years experience from Search and Rescue at sea in Norway.
PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS!
I'm just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things that might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don't have the blueprint either. I'm not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don't think I can learn new things I should go ashore.
